Liaoning aircraft carrier

Liaoning aircraft carrier, referred to as "Liaoning ship", the port number 16, is the People's Liberation Army Navy's first aircraft carrier. Its predecessor was the Soviet Navy's Kuznetsov marshal aircraft carrier second ship Varyag number.

In the late 1980s, the Varyag was built in Ukraine when the Soviet Union was disintegrated and the construction was interrupted by 68 per cent. In 1999, China purchased the Varyag number, which arrived in Dalian on March 4, 2002.

On April 26, 2005, it was further improved by the Chinese Navy. The PLA's goal is to make changes to the aircraft carrier that has not been completed and to use it for scientific, experimental and training purposes. On September 25, 2012, it was officially renamed Liaoning Province, delivered to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.
